My Dream Tank - 650 Gallons!

[Feet4Fish]

It is an F6 Magnet. Have always thought the Marine Betta is an understated beauty! Hopefully he gains some confidence and becomes more social!

No regrets- worth every cent!! What model did you get?
Also the marine betta came out today to eat!! First time ive seen it since arrival 3 weeks ago

It takes them time but they eventually work their way out and socialize.
F6 is perfect. I have the 5 and it does well, but one more step would have been an improvement.

So tank is almost full! Have closed loop running flawlessly and the two Gyre 280s going. Clouded up the tank nicely. Last night got one of the two manifolds done. Will try to finish the second one over next couple days. Have three fish coming in about 2-3 weeks from Marine Collectors so I need to get my butt in gear!

When do you anticipate it being full?

Glad to hear of the progress.

This guy has been meticulous since day one and it’s obvious on the outcome !!

Display is filled as of this morning. Will likely have all filtration volume down in the basement full by end of day tomorrow.

Nice,

I truly look forward to continue to watch your build and progress.

So....what do you do if you realize a closed loop nozzle needs to be repositioned once the tank is full?????

Update.....all systems full of water. Turning on return tonight.

 

[Feet4Fish]

Got return pump fired up last night and all seems to be good. No bubbles like when I did the fresh water fill test!!! Will be adding salt tonight if everything looks good when I get home!

 

[Feet4Fish]

Sorry so long since an update...... Tank is salty now and all cycled media/rock has been added. Temp is stable and BRS Apex is hooked up. Later today will but in the first few fish and by week's end should have 12 in the system. Next items on the to do list is to finish the water change set up in my laundry room and set up the in line 50 gallon reservoir for the "easy water change" set up.

First two in.....

 

[Feet4Fish]

I have then opportunity to pick up 4 Heniochus Acuminata for a great price. Have outgrown a 300 gallon reef! Hopefully can work out the details this week! Here is a picture of one in the 300 gallon.

Some morning shots....

 

[Feet4Fish]

So what’s next in order....

1. Finish water making/changing station
2. Build second manifold for Micron filter, UV and trickle tower.
3. Build ATS
4. Finish light rack and get it installed

And of course expand beyond my current population of two!
